When you think of weight lose, images of the sweating it out at the gym and depriving yourself of food are far more likely to come to mind than of meditation.
Being still and breathing may not be what you typically associate with weight loss.
But the silva method claims that you can lose weight from meditation. Is there any truth to this claim?
The truth about weight loss is that its not just about counting calories and pumping iron. To lose weight, you have to work out your mind, much like your body.
First of all if you want to lose weight, you need to change your habits that go you there in the first place. Meditation is the key to finding out what negative beliefs you hold about food or health and helps you change them to positive ones.
So instead of relying on your willpower to not eat junk food and force yourself to the gym, you will soon overcome those desires – that is – if you practice meditation often.
Not only does meditation help with desires and habit changes for better health. Meditation reduces stress, leaves you feeling calm and relaxed. Stress is one of the biggest culprits for weight gain. When you are stressed, your brain produces cortisone, which tells your body to store fat.
Many of us tend to eat out of bored, stress or even happiness. Stressors, good or bad, can trigger emotional eating for many of us. Meditation activly reduces stress levels. ‘Emotional’ eating can be conquered when you align your mind body and spirit.
Visualization used during meditation can also be very powerful. When you visualize the things you desire and wish to become, it won’t be long before you become that person. The silva method has a powerful visualization technique called the mirror of the mind technique.
